I'm not really arrogant enough to critique Chaucer. I'll merely say that I keep reading and re-reading him.

I'm on page 197 of 551. I own a copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer, the most beautiful edition of the complete works of the great English poet. The book is quite large and heavy, I has to be placed on a stand in order to read from it. It contains the original text and all 87 woodcuts by Sir Edward Burne- Jones and the borders and decorations of the initial work by William Morris. It is written in Chaucer's Middle English so I have to consult the glossary a lot more often than I thought I would :D The book has been quite a treat, at least for me. I am not in a hurry to finish it...

This book is in horrendous shape, but I cannot bear to throw Chaucer away! :)
